Is it Wednesday already! :?: :roll:

Nope - she said SHE would post - if she had said to not post our answers I would not have - as it stands now, I edited to keep YOU happy.

You don't need to do ANYTHING to keep ME happy Bez. Just thought it would be more fun if people could figure out how good they did before the answers were posted. But thanks. ;-)

I won't give away the answer yet but how many remember not only why the American Pie song was written but for whom. It was almost Waylon Jennings but at the last minuite it wasn't. Big hints here.

American Pie was written to honor a singer (I believe it was either Richie Valens or The Big Bopper) who died in a plane crash.

Two out of three ain't bad. 1 more. Waylon gave up his seat right before takeoff.

And then there was Jim Reeves and Cowboy Copas, maybe in the same crash.

Holy smokes the rocker was Buddy Holly
The planes name? American Pie

 

[eric]

14/15 here too....but the one I dont have is the Satchmo jazz guy. Louis Armstrong? Satchell Page?

 

[Arnold Ziffle]

This list sure brought back some good memories. Bama, I got all 15 too. Seemed like a real easy list to answer. But we're probably not really that old, are we? Perhaps just good memories for trivia. :lol:

Do you "older folks" remember what the nickname Satchmo stands for?

Can you recall one of Satchell's famous quotes?

Or the title of The Big Bopper's one famous song?

dun, Gentleman Jim Reeves was surely one of the best. Too bad he died so young. I've got CD's of his greatest hits; what a smooth & mellow voice. Were you a Patsy Montana fan too?

I have LP's of Jim Reeves. :lol:

I guarantee you there are kids in here who have no idea what a LP is! Some have never even seen a 45 before. But I can admit that I've never owned a 78 rpm record. I've got daughter born in 1984, and I'm pretty sure she has never owned any records. By '84, cassettes were pretty much the craze, and what an improvement over the 8 tracks! Cassettes did to 8 tracks what CD's did to cassettes.

I believe the first album I ever bought was Tom T. Hall....back in the Jerry Jeff/Willie/Waylon outlaw days!
